What means of funding are available for Masters in Social Work (MSW) programs?
Most of the funding you will find will be through traditional government grants and student loans. There are scholarships available for minority students or students who choose a specialization, such as mental health or geriatrics. For repayment, consider working for a non-profit for debt forgiveness. Also, once you get your degree, consider getting supervision for your LCSW or clinical license. LCSW’s can make as much as PhD’s in psychology. Pay it off yourself.

Are most master’s in social work programs hard and stressful?
Well. It depends...I can't speak for every MSW program, but I know that the good ones usually are, and should be, rigorous which obviously will be stressful at times. My program, which is a top tier program, and is arguably the most rigorous in the state, is definately stressful and challenging. And honestly, most of my classmates, myself included, are counting down the days to graduation.Furthermore, the intense field requirement (which will be there in all accredited MSW programs), and not necessarily the coursework itself, tends to create a great deal of the stress associated with social work graduate school.That said, there are a lot of factors that impact a MSW student's academic experience and difficulty level; the rank of the program, the students academic background/aptitude, type of concentration, and quality of faculty, all can make a program (unnecessarily) stressful and hard.However, and what I have found to be true, is if you have a solid academic foundation via social science coursework and experience, that the stress and challenge and/or rigor of a MSW program won't be prohibitive. Moreover, you should be able to do well in any MSW program just as long and you put in the effort.I hope that answers your question:)
Are MSW and MA in social work the same?
Yes both the degrees are same. There isnt any major difference in what is taught in the curriculum. The degree is based on the University that provides it. Like for example if you do Social Work from TISS, they offer you MA in social work but if you do from Nirmala Niketan in Mumbai they will offer you MSW. More than the degree look out for best Social Work colleges that will provide you both practical and theoretical experience.
What are the funding sources available in India for social works?
Its continuation of my question. I have been doing some social works as everyone loves to do. It went well (social work) till I funded myself entirely. This time we have planned to donate some funds to the marriage of poor girls. Suddenly I fall into some financial problem from my end. When contacted my friends for this cause and requested for the contribution they simply advised me to restrain from such works. I know I can walk away simply because they are not my relatives and friends. Problem is that these family can't afford to do by themselves. If I walk out the family will be ruined. Advice me please. A kind request.Edit: No one answered on quora. God answered. I managed funds.
What are the career prospects after completing a master's of social work (MSW)?
I definitely agree with the two previous answers, but I'd like to through in a few more suggestions...Macro social work is something that is a option for MSW's. Speaking from personal experience, (I'm a macro student studying policy) there are PLENTY of opportunity for those wanting to practice macro social work, due to the fact that over 90% of social workers go into micro practice (working with individuals).Macro practice includes non-profit administration, policy analysis, and community practice (organising and building). Moreover, macro practice gives a MSW the opportunity to change things and systems on a societal level (large scale) rather than work within them as they are.I hope that answers your question:)
